antlr

[Ernie Rael <er...@raelity.com>]

Greetings all,

I'm thinking about starting a small (that's the idea anyway) antlr 
project; I've never used antlr before. At first I didn't see any antlr 
with the plugin manager, then noticed that there's a buitin /ANTLR 
Grammar Editor Support/. I see some 8.2 stuff online, and I'm guessing 
that's not relevant with NB-18.

I'm looking around wondering what to expect. At 
https://www.antlr.org/tools.html there's mention that NetBeans has a 
"sophisticated editor for ANTLR v3/v4 grammars". It looks like there are 
a variety of development tools and compared to other IDEs it looks like 
NetBeans only has the editor. It could be that the info in not presented 
very well.

Is there any info on what the ANTLR workflow with NetBeans looks like? 
Are the "missing" tools" simply not integrated and can be used from the 
command line? Or is it something more?

Hi Ernie,

I think the AntlrWorks which is mentioned there is not available anymore.

What we have is a new development from Matthias and me. It has syntax 
highlight, navigation, some code completion and formatting. It supports 
some trivial error detection as well. Though no high level things there 
with parser tree analysis, graphing and testing. That would require more 
knowledge + time from our side.
